Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos: MNF Betting Preview
To understand the parity of the teams of the NFL, it helps to think of any knowledge you have of high school and/or college sports. Doesn’t need to be college football – some principles hold true in all athletics and competitive endeavors. Teams that are in similar circumstances, that are formed in similar ways, tend to have close contests. That’s why conferences and … [Read more...] about Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos: MNF Betting Preview
A.F.C. Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Analysis and Moneyline Pick
It’s nice that the Premier League throws a reliably-timed bone to its viewing audiences in North and South America. Not to say that there aren’t lots of us here in the United States who are addicted to waking up in the morning, or – ahem – waiting up all night for the EPL’s broadcasts on the NBC network. But as long as there are Monday matches, it’s nice to not have the … [Read more...] about A.F.C. Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Analysis and Moneyline Pick
Stanford at Notre Dame: Handicapping a Titanic Battle on the Moneyline
I’m thinking of myself as a fair handicapper this week, because I made a mistake...and won anyway. Blowing an obvious point of logic (in hindsight, or realized bitterly by opening kickoff) is one of the worst mistakes a moneyline gambler can make. But if your picks are solid enough that you account for error, then you can make a bad mistake and win anyway. Sometimes, at … [Read more...] about Stanford at Notre Dame: Handicapping a Titanic Battle on the Moneyline
Sunday Night Football Week 3: Patriots at Lions Betting Preview
It’s a battle of teacher vs student. And neither one is especially pleased at the moment. The New England Patriots lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, 31-20. But at least the defending AFC champs are 1-1, and their iconic head coach and HOF quarterback haven’t tried to murder each other...not yet anyway. In contrast, Bill Belichick’s protege and former Pats … [Read more...] about Sunday Night Football Week 3: Patriots at Lions Betting Preview
Arsenal Favored Over Everton in Sunday Premier League Action
I once saw Tiki Barber of the New York Giants interviewed on Late Night With David Letterman, about 12 games into the 2006 season. The Giants possessed a more-or-less average roster and were headed for an 8-8 season and a Wild Card round exit. Letterman asked Barber the standard question, “Do you have a chance to win it all this year?” “Sure,” replied a smiling Barber. “I … [Read more...] about Arsenal Favored Over Everton in Sunday Premier League Action
TCU at Texas: Betting on a Pivotal Big 12 Battle
I have always felt that handicapping early in the football season is a greater challenge than dealing with the extra variables of November and December. Sure, late in the NFL or FBS campaign there are often more minor injuries (and major injuries) to take into account. If one team is winning and the other is out of the postseason already, fine points of motivation must be … [Read more...] about TCU at Texas: Betting on a Pivotal Big 12 Battle
Texas A&M at Alabama – Surreal Vegas Spread on #1 vs #22
The very best football programs tend to surprise everyone with their upside, at least once per year. Perhaps they’ll go 4-0 over a difficult stretch that everyone expected them to finish 3-1 or 2-2 in, or overcome a frosh-heavy roster to win their conference. Alabama seems almost incapable of surprising us anymore. The Crimson Tide have won multiple national titles since the … [Read more...] about Texas A&M at Alabama – Surreal Vegas Spread on #1 vs #22
Monday Night Football: Handicapping the Chicago Bears vs Seattle Seahawks
Another prime-time NFL contest features a pair of teams trying to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start. Each played well in stretches of Week 1, but neither could pull it off when it counted. Squandered leads and missed opportunities highlighted both outcomes. The Bears blew a 20-point 2nd-half lead against rival Green Bay after Aaron Rodgers returned from a golf-cart exit to … [Read more...] about Monday Night Football: Handicapping the Chicago Bears vs Seattle Seahawks
